Hello

I installed solaris 9, but when I reboot the box, I got this message

WARNING:add_spec:No major number for mpt
WARNING:add_spec:No major number for mpt
WARNING:add_spec:No major number for mpt
WARNING:add_spec:No major number for mpt
WARNING:add_spec:No major number for mpt

Someone know what means ??

Because I canīt find the message answer.

Thanks in advance

I see some stuff on Sunsolve for this error on Solaris 8, but I don't find anything for Solaris 9. One of the possible solutions offered for 8 looks like it might work on 9. No guarantees here, but you might give it a try.

Manually edit /etc/name_to_major and add a line at the end. The line will be:
mpt nnn
where nnn is the next number. So if the last line currently is:
atapicd 135
you would add
mpt 136

After the change, you must reboot.

The other procedure involves removing patches, making server edits to other files in /etc and then re-installing the patches. It is quite involved and the specific patches would not be known since you're using Solaris 9.

If you have Sun support, I would call them on this one. If not, I would try the above procedure. If you try it, please post again to let us know how it worked.
